My favorite are the Timeless 6. I almost got them, but I got a smokin deal on my Centerlines. Tony has those, but they are on big tires.

Yeah, I like the Timeless 6 also. I saw them chromed and was like. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bomb]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bomb.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />
I'm not really into appearance mods but, a midnight blue paint job with some very subtle ghost flames and chromed Timeless 6's would be OK with me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Tony - You didn't happen to weigh those wheels did ya?

I don't have any pics(search net for Eagle Alloys), but I have Eagle Alloys series 213 17"x8"(Six spoke plain). They were cheap and light($180/24pounds each). I also planed to go big in the back with Nittos, but the 9.5" wide were on backorder with no date. I got BF Goodrich Longtrail TA's for $85 each in 275/60-R17.

Timeless Six were my favorite too, thats why I couldn't pass up the deal on them. I didn't get to weigh them because they already had the 33s mounted on them. I get a TON of compliments on the truck now, this lift and wheels completely changed its look. 18s on a lifted truck are very rare.
BTW, I still have my 17x8 wheels/tires for sale CHEAP. $725. http://users.ev1.net/~ynot_dv8/GMC/GMCside2.jpg

I really like a lot of different wheels. The first couple that XLR8NSS posted are sweet. The ones I have wouldn't have been my first choice, but I got a smokin deal and couldn't pass em up. Chrome is so much easier to clean. Have Michelin Cross Terrain 265x70x17s on them.

These are 17" Colorado Custom "Yuma" series wrapped in Nitto 255/50/17 tires <img src="http://hometown.aol.com/ktc00027/images/image006.jpg" alt=" - " /> <img src="http://hometown.aol.com/ktc00027/images/image003.jpg" alt=" - " /> <img src="http://hometown.aol.com/ktc00027/images/image004.jpg" alt=" - " />

Also, check out Centerline wheels. I think they are forged aluminum, reasonably priced, and pretty light from what I have read. Their add in Street Trucks says there 20's weigh 20 pounds each.

Tony - Those look damn good. Are they chrome or just polished. I'd have to get mine chromed. I have had polished rims before and they're just too hard to keep nice looking.(for me anyway <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> ) That's a good price on those other wheels <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> but, I don't like the way the spokes taper down towards the outside. The Genesis 6 do that and I think I'll take them off my list.
Scream - Thanks. If I decide on a set of Boyds I'll give him a call.
Kent - I'm scared to ask how much those Yuma's cost. I actually saved a picture of them to my computer while I was looking at wheels last night but, when I saw the price I hit delete. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
I looked at some Centerlines. Here is one that I liked. Even though the back part of the spoke tapers the heaviest main part is one width. I kinda like that. They don't come in 17*10 though and later on down the road I want a tire that will require at least a 10" wide rim so I have to consider that.

Whatever I get I'll probably have it chromed because like BigTex said it's sooooooooooo much easier to clean. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
